Weird XCode-only debug problem

I'm working on some code I'd like to step through in a debugger.

If I do this in XCode, there's a particular point where stepping over lines blocks for abnormally long times, and where I get messages in the debugger console reading "Timed out fetching data. Variable display may be inaccurate." ("Abnormally long" here builds over about three lines-- from a few seconds up to several minutes, after which I've killed the process).

When this happens, "top" indicates that the process being debugged grabs as much CPU time as possible-- this despite the fact that the code is not multithreaded, and the line I'm trying to step over is as follows:

int time = 0;

However if I run GDB from the command line and step through the same code, I have no problems.

I can avoid the trouble in XCode by arranging not to step over the specific lines where trouble occurs, i.e. by telling the debugger to "continue" until just a couple of lines later.

I tried cleaning and reindexing the project, to no avail.

Anyone have any idea what's going on, and what to do about it? The fact that command-line GDB steps through the code normally leads me to think it's XCode, but it's weird enough that I really don't know what to think.

This is with XCode 1.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.3.
